Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Don't worry about such trivial things, you see, there is a door there." Zoe pointed to the road illuminated by the fire, and there was a faint gate with delicate patterns standing there.

"Isn't this the final destination?" Hermione asked in confusion. "Professor Barbara didn't even tell me what I needed to do, she just said,'You will know when the time comes.'"

"I don't think this is the end, it looks more like the beginning of everything. Why don't we go ahead and see what we are going to do next?" Zoe's proposal was confirmed by Hermione. As if understanding the language of the two of them, the blue butterfly fluttered to the distance.

"Does it want us to follow?" Hermione unconsciously followed. In this gloomy passage, only the butterfly belonging to Barbara and the presence of Zoe by her side can comfort her and let her escape. The feeling of loneliness.

"Let's go—" She looked back and tried to hold Zoe, but found that the girl who was still next to her had disappeared, as if everything was just her illusion.Only her voice spread in the tunnel, forming echoes.

Are you going to look back first?Should I follow up first?

Maybe things in the spiritual world cannot be regulated by common sense, and Zoe also said that this is her spiritual world.After gritting her teeth, Hermione ran towards the butterfly's path.Where the butterfly formed by the rune passes, there will always be a long trailing light, emitting a hazy blue spot.

But this line didn’t seem necessary. The corridor didn’t split, but went to the end. Seeing that the door was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, there was no episode in the end, Hermione stood panting. In front of the door, the blue butterfly flew up and down in front of the door, leaving a string of shining light spots.

"Do you want me to open this door..." Blue Butterfly whirled in the direction of the keyhole, and Hermione pushed the door, motionless, "Alaho Hole Open!" she shouted, but without a wand in her hand, the spell was taken for granted. It has no effect.

Hermione slammed into the heavy door, and had nothing to do but to numb half of her body."I need your help, professor." She whispered to the butterfly.

The butterfly flickered and split in front of her-it should be said that it was deformed accurately. Many tentacles appeared on the body of the blue butterfly, which wrapped the whole body, as if the rhythm of a pupa, and after a moment, a key glowing with blue light In Hermione's hands.

Hermione tentatively inserted the key into the keyhole, the door clicked open, and the key disappeared again. The butterfly swayed through the opening of the door and disappeared to the other end.

With a creaking sound, Hermione probed in guardingly, and found that everything in front of her suddenly became huge-obviously on both sides of the same door, and Hermione on the outside could still have more than half of it. It is high, but the inside can only reach a quarter of the huge door. It looks like this is an outdoor courtyard. Even a drooping grass not far away can reach her waist, let alone those that are properly trimmed, A green high wall formed after stacking on one side.

She walked in the direction that looked like the entrance, and kept walking against the side of the wall."Dead road." She muttered. It was the third time. No matter how she changed her choice, she would eventually turn into a blocked road.She wanted to remember which road she took, but the roads here were all exactly the same, there was no feature that could be used to distinguish, nor could she accurately appreciate the passage of time.

This situation seemed familiar, and Hermione thought she should be in a maze.But she doesn't have Ariadne's coil, how can she get out of the complicated maze?

Follow the butterfly... She remembered that the butterfly would always drop a clear light.

Hermione looked around, but Barbara's butterfly just flew randomly, and couldn't find where it was now.But there were tiny spots of light scattered in the air, as if a guide was guiding the way forward.

*****

The scale of the maze was much larger than expected. Hermione continued to follow the long-lasting light spots, but she felt that she might not be able to move forward much, no matter how many turns or corners. , There is no end in front of me, but a deeper road.

Not knowing how long had been trapped here, Hermione was a little anxious.She was standing at a crossroad this time, but the left and upper roads were scattered with blue light spots. She suddenly didn't know how to move forward, and she never saw the butterfly again.Although the conscious body does not feel fatigue and pain, she still feels mental exhaustion very realistically.

I was thinking about the possibility of pausing to rest and rest, and planning the road ahead, but suddenly there was a heavy sound of bang, bang, and bang, as if overweight objects were falling one after another at a regular speed. Min could even feel a slight tremor under his feet, something large was approaching.

Closer, the sound of metal scraping on the ground sounded, very harsh and creepy.Hermione clearly saw an elongated shadow gradually cast from the end of the road ahead, the shadow of the spire swaying slowly, as if its owner was patrolling swagger.

After hiding herself in the plant barrier on the right side of the intersection, Hermione looked at this thing with breath holding her full posture: "Minotaurnos" is not the appearance of a bull-headed figure in the mythology, but a heavy knight armor, body shape It was a little bigger than the two giant monsters Hermione saw in the first grade. She was holding a thick iron rod with many iron nails stuck in it. The sour voice was dragging from that one. It was sent from a mace that was dragged on the ground.

The huge armor was fully armed. Hermione didn't know if there was anyone that big after the armor that was armed to the teeth, but when she saw the armor slowly but carefully looking around every corner she passed, she noticed it almost instantly Identity: It is just a joke to say that it is Minotaur, but the identity of the opponent is probably the same as that of the monster. That armor should be the guardian wandering around the maze.

The guardian walked slowly in Hermione's direction. Hermione just wanted to retreat, but someone was talking in her ear.

"Calm down, Hermione."

so close.Hermione, who was almost screaming again, covered her mouth tightly, whispered twice, and stared at Zoe who appeared next to her again, smiling and looking at her in shock.

"Don't worry,'that' is not looking for enemies by voice."

"Do you know what that is?"

"It's probably a sort of scavenger. It's its duty to remove foreign objects. Everything will be over when caught." Zoe could still laugh out loud.

"It's easy for you to say, are we going to fight it? Or do you have a way to deal with this big guy?" Hermione gave her a hard look.

"Maybe, I can't make the monster disappear, I can only choose to avoid it." Zoe reached out his hand to her, "I know where the exit is, do you want to come?"

Chapter 29 In-Depth (2)

Hermione was silent for a moment: "You are not the real Zoe. Who are you?"

"It's really sharp." "Zoe" smiled, "what makes you doubt?"

"Too calm. Although you said that you are here for the first time, you are completely indifferent to what happened before you, and you also know a lot of relevant knowledge."

"Yes, I am really not Zoe Siegel, not myself." "Zoe" introduced himself. "Strictly speaking, I should be regarded as a touch of consciousness. It is a product of the spiritual connection between our two sides. The leader who leads you exists. The reason you have this look in your eyes is because you want it in your heart, so I reflect what you want to see and hear, nothing more."

"Guide? I should already have the professor's rune butterfly..."

"But did it do anything for you? Except for the time it opened the door, it can't even be seen now. What you really need is a'local'." "Zoe" said with a smile, "So It may be strange to say, but I was born in your needs. Leading you to your destination is the meaning of my birth. Please believe me, at least let me take you out of this maze first."

She looked at Hermione sincerely, her expression unfaithful.This time Hermione was silent for a long time, and finally reached out and held the hand of the mysterious existence that appeared in front of her.

"Zoe" burst out with a lovely smile, and her cheeks were slightly red. Hermione had to agree that the girlish feelings she showed with her friend's face looked very attractive, and her slight guard was relaxed.

But they don't have much time. Although Hermione can't see it, the approaching footsteps and the louder and louder metal dragging sound will only make the tension erupt."Zoe" pulled her through the various trails skillfully. She almost never stopped to think, she only needed to pause for an instant and ran in the right direction.

But even if they ran so fast, the chasing voices never went away. The adrenaline-enhancing sounds seemed to be played continuously in Hermione’s ears, and even gradually approached. trend.Hermione couldn't look back, she increased her strength, holding the hand of "Zoe" in front of her tightly, sweat oozing out of her palm.

"Don't worry, I won't let go of your hand." "Zoe" felt her high tension and said softly.In a daze, Hermione thought that the real Zoe was talking to her, and made this promise...until finally another tall door appeared in front of them.

"How can we open it?" Hermione shouted.

"Run, Hermione! Just run!"

Seeing that door was about to hit her face, Hermione closed her eyes.

*****

When she opened her eyes, her heart hadn't calmed down, and she was beating quickly in her chest. Hermione panted in fear and stood up slowly.

"Here, where is it?"

It's another dark corridor, but unlike the previous one, the passage here is very spacious, with many doors of different shapes standing on both sides of the wall.But unlike the original one, these doors are slightly open, and there are scenes of brilliance or sound from the cracks in the door.

"Welcome to the real memory box, Hermione. I'm glad you are willing to believe me." "Zoe" opened his arms to her and hugged her gently.

"The real destination is at the end, in the only closed door." She walked ahead and led the way, leaving obvious footsteps on the silent floor.Hermione couldn't help but care about the doors she passed through, and she secretly glanced at one of them.

The dense wind and snow seemed to pounce in Hermione's direction through the restraints, and a tender, worried voice came from the door, and she was talking to an obviously old voice.

She passed another door, and the comfortable wind mixed with the fragrance of grasses drifted into her nose, and the sound of a melodious harp came. Hermione could even imagine lying on the lawn comfortably in the drunk afternoon. Take a nap.

When she passed a door for the third time, the atmosphere inside was completely different. It was a quiet and cold atmosphere, as if there was no temperature at all, only a little light was shining. She cast her gaze into the door and vaguely saw one. The stone platform and the runes on the wall were densely covered, and then she saw a shadow cast from the corner, as if someone was going to come out from the corner...

"Hermione."

The third time, "Zoe" appeared behind her silently. Hermione held her violently beating heart and resisted the guilty conscience and guilt that spread out unconsciously. She acted as if she was peering into others. The same as unwilling to expose privacy.

At this time she saw "Zoe" stretch out her index finger and pointed to the door that was not far ahead: "Don't stand here anymore, let's go quickly."

"Are these opened doors all Zoe's memories?"
